Day 25: Sun Room (Fourth Shift)

The concept of gardening in the greenhouse was not one that Hitsugaya was particularly fond of. It was likely exceptionally warm inside, whereas the young captain had a preference for cold climates. He also needed to make himself available for anyone who happened to want to speak with him. The sun room overall seemed the best choice.

As a warm and cheerful nurse led him into the sunroom, he glanced around. At the moment he was the first one there, which was good, as it meant he could keep an eye out for one of the many individuals who had expressed curiosity about the 'arts and crafts' division. It also meant he could watch out for Omi or this Hellsing woman. He excused himself from the nurse and proceeded to a seat that gave him a good view of the entrance. If not for the fact that he was being held here against his will, he might have felt happy. Real rice. He hadn't had time to eat as much as he had hoped, what with his meeting with Mustang, but he still ate a lot more than he'd had the opportunity previously. Even Momo seemed to be acting more like normal.

As unpleasant as the day had begun, it was turning out to be a good day.

"I understand, Relena-san. It is better that I rest a little before tonight. It shall be difficult enough with these injuries, therefore I shall not take the chance of causing them to become worse."

He took a breath at her question, then said softly, "My home, Konoha...it is diverse. There are those who seem peculiar, and those that merely make a living. However, many of those in my village train in the ways of the ninja."

As he spoke, he wondered how odd this was sounding to Relena. Considering that everyone seemed to have such a unique story here, it was probably a surprise, and yet nothing terribly unusual.

"I, too, trained to become a ninja. Yet unlike the other students, I was not able to use chakra. Therefore I focused my skills on learning taijutsu. Many doubted my skills, except my Master. Nonetheless, I have continued to train to become the best that I can. Several of the strongest of Konoha are here. Uzumaki Naruto and...and Haruno Sakura are from my village. Uchiha Sasuke was their team member, but he felt that he had to leave for some time. There is also a nin named Gaara, who is very powerful as well. He is a good leader. It breaks my heart to see them feel as if they are useless here. I know that they are not! They are strong, even if they cannot access their chakra at the moment. It is still there, flowing, even if it appears to be dormant. If only there was some way to make them believe this, then I feel that surely we would be able to face anything!"

Ninja, chakra, and taijutsu. Relena wasn't too sure about what the last two were, but she figured it was something that ninja did. Listening further, the ex-queen figured taijutsu was something Lee did, and chakra was something that powered his attacks. No, the others' attacks. She remembered Lee mentioning he couldn't use chakra.

Regardless, the ninja's world sounded very interesting, and she told him so. "It sounds like your world isn't boring." She tried to smile, hoping to ease Lee's pain.

Lee laughed. "That is true, Relena-san. It is certainly full of surprises. Some are rather pleasant, and others are not. Yet I suppose that is what all worlds are like. Joy, sorrow and everything in between creates life."

He quietly watched the others for a while, thinking of the precious people he had left behind.

"I am being quite rude, however! Please tell me a bit about your own world, Relena-san!"

How to describe her world? There had been so much that happened in recent history that she wasn't sure what she should/could share or omit. Well, better to be safe than sorry, since she didn't know who had brought her here.

"My world has seen a lot of turmoil lately," she began. "A year and a half ago, the Gundams - large humanoid mobile suits - came to Earth to try and earn freedom for the space colonies. They fought many battles on Earth and in space against Oz's mobile suits." She paused, thinking this sounded like something out of a science fiction novel - really, giant fighting robots? "We finally gained peace last year around Christmas, but not long ago, a rebel faction started some trouble again, but the Gundams stopped the violence again." She refrained from mentioning her kidnapping by the Barton Foundation, as she didn't want to worry Lee. It was enough that he knew she lived through a war.
